Manor Romance

Chapter 158 Lion's Roar
"Hey, don't underestimate this pair of frozen lions. They are definitely priceless items. If they come out, they will definitely cause a sensation. In our traditional culture, placing lions in front of the door is a tradition of auspiciousness. , Meeting them means that our good luck is coming, if the teacher sees them, I don’t know how he will feel.” Wang Chengyuan sighed in admiration, and when he encountered such rare treasures, he naturally thought of Ren Fei.

"Oh, this baby is not bad!"

"Pfft! Haha."

Yun Li imitated Ren Fei's tone and replied, Wang Chengyuan was amused by these words. Every time Ren Fei encountered something new and interesting, he would express it in this tone, and it had become his mantra. It was reinterpreted in Li, and it had a different flavor, and the two laughed involuntarily.

The mute couldn't understand their conversation, and he didn't know why the two of them were so happy all of a sudden, and they could still laugh heartily in such a predicament. Although he was also very tired, he still stood up and went to investigate Shimen with the broken forbidden beads Case.For the two frozen lions, he was still a little afraid to approach them, because they were no different from the living ones except that they couldn't move. If you looked at them a few more times, you would have the illusion that they would break out of the ice at any time. People are daunting.

"The lions placed in front of this gate are very particular. They must be placed in pairs, not single ones, and generally they are one female and one male, which coincides with the harmony of yin and yang. The same is true for the pair of frozen lions in front of us. It's just that the position of the female seems to be reversed." The two seemed to have no intention of getting up, and continued to discuss this issue, Wang Chengyuan analyzed.

"Can you still tell if it's a male lion or a lioness? The interests and hobbies are too wide! Is there any trick?" Yun left joked.

Wang Chengyuan smiled and replied: "It's very simple. Male lions have manes, but female lions do not. It's just the other way around."

"I see. Since the owner of this tomb can even capture and freeze the living King of Beasts, and treat it as a gatekeeper, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, right? Or did he do it on purpose?" Yun Li wondered. road.

"Have you ever been to the Great Wall?" Wang Chengyuan suddenly asked Yunli.

Yun Li didn't know why Wang Chengyuan asked this question, whether he had been there or not seemed irrelevant to this topic, but he still replied truthfully: "I have been there once, but I only stayed for a short time, and now I don't have much impression of it."

Yunli had indeed been there once, and it was many years ago. At that time, Lily was studying at university in the north. One year, he and Aunt Fang went to visit her. There happened to be a section of the Great Wall nearby, so Lily took them to visit. My aunt originally wanted to climb the Great Wall, but she was weak and couldn't hold on after walking for a short distance, so they turned to other places in the end.

"Then what do you think of the stone steps we just climbed up compared to the Great Wall?" Wang Chengyuan continued to ask.

Yun Li thought about it carefully, and soon understood Wang Chengyuan's intentions, and replied, "Uncle Yuan, what you mean is that this section of stone steps was built according to the model of the Great Wall?"

Seeing that Yunli was able to comprehend it so quickly, Wang Chengyuan nodded with a smile, and said, "That's right, it was built according to the characteristics of the stone steps on the Great Wall, and some places were exaggerated, a bit spoofy. But without prejudice to judgement.”

"It's a bit like that. I remember the section of the Great Wall that I walked through. The stone steps were also of different heights. It was very awkward to walk, and walking this kind of stone steps was very exhausting. Most people can't climb very far, so they have to stop and rest. Take it easy." Yun Li suddenly said that the section of the Great Wall they visited back then was indeed somewhat similar to this stone-step road, and Aunt Fang was also struggling so much because she was not used to walking the stone steps with different heights. Still have a deep impression.

"When I first got off the altar, I judged that the owner of this ancient tomb was a famous Xiongnu leader in the Han Dynasty. Now that I have this information, I can narrow the scope down. The time should be at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was a leader of the Huns who was rejected by the Great Wall. He was very yearning for Han Chinese culture, but he couldn’t conquer the Han people, so he held prejudices, so there was this pair of frozen lions who had reversed their positions and were extremely different.” Wang Chengyuan expressed his opinion.

Yun Li nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, since we can't find a way out, but if we can collect more information about the identity of the owner of the tomb, maybe we can find some loopholes, know ourselves and the enemy, and win every battle."

"If we can understand the idea of ​​the owner of this tomb in designing this ancient tomb, we may be able to know the structure and distribution of the entire ancient tomb, so that we can think from the perspective of craftsmen. Even if we can't find a secret passage, we can spy on this ancient tomb Weaknesses, this may be the only direction for us to escape." Wang Chengyuan analyzed seriously.

"The icy water will come up soon, let's go explore this stone gate." Yun Li said vigorously, so the two supported each other and went to the stone gate to investigate the situation.

In fact, Yun Li didn't say anything. He went to the main tomb, not just to spy on the identity of the owner of the tomb. The glacier labyrinth above this ancient tomb, the incomparably exquisite mirage illusion, and the huge underground passage structure all indicate that It means that there is an unknown secret hidden here, and this secret is closely related to the electromagnetic force in his body, and the loss of control and even disappearance of the electromagnetic force is inseparable from this secret.

If this secret can be deciphered, maybe the electromagnetic force can be restored, and Yunli, who once again controls the electromagnetic force, will naturally have the confidence to lead Wang Chengyuan and Dumb out of the ancient tomb, and even go down the mountain smoothly.

The mute fiddled with it for a long time but got nothing. The same was true for Yunli and Wang Chengyuan. Apart from a closed seam in the center of this stone gate, there was no scratches anywhere else. The three of them changed their targets to explore the surrounding area. But the result was still the same. Seeing that the icy water surged higher and higher, but he was trapped here to death, the hope that had just risen was quickly extinguished.

"The back of this stone gate is empty, and there is a mechanism, but I don't know if it is used to open this stone gate. It can be concluded that there is another way out, but it is [-] centimeters thick. There are two stone gates on the left and right and the surrounding walls. It's so tightly made that even ants can't get through it, let alone us. Even after thousands of years, it still won't have any flaws, unless someone opens the mechanism for us on the opposite side, or the owner of the tomb wakes up Show mercy and let us in." Wang Chengyuan sighed helplessly, through the feedback from the Forbidden Bead, he could find out the information behind the stone gate, but he couldn't find any countermeasures.

Although Yunli didn't want to give up, an unprecedented sense of powerlessness enveloped his entire body. Both his body and his mind were overloaded. He was fearless in the face of avalanches and ghost meteors. He was calm in the face of glacier labyrinths and mirages. To deal with it, even in the case of losing the electromagnetic force, walking through passages, dribbling in icy water, breaking traps, and climbing stone steps all failed to knock him down, but it was precisely here that he had thoughts of despair.

"Uh huh! Yiyi!" The mute suddenly went crazy, holding the small ice chisel with both hands and smashing at Shimen, but he didn't have much energy left, and after venting, he only left Shimen with a few blows. It was just a shallow mark, but he seemed to have lost his mind, and continued to smash, with a heart-wrenching wail from his mouth.

Yunli and Wang Chengyuan leaned aside to rest, without saying a word, each thinking about their own affairs, Wang Chengyuan kept staring at the palm of his hand, on which lay a red five-pointed star-shaped lucky charm, which Wang Yuyao begged for him before leaving. It came, Yunli also had one in his hand, Wang Chengyuan just stared at the lucky charm, his thoughts drifted away.

But Yunli closed his eyes, his mind was full of joyful pictures and experiences in the past, growing up in the orphanage, Aunt Fang and Baihe treated him so well, he went to middle school and university, and met many good friends, but some of them have not been in touch for a long time , I don't know how they are doing now.

I went to Luzhen Middle School to teach, contracted Xiaolu Mountain, and built Banlu Manor with one hand. I met a woman who was in love with him but was inseparable. They took care of the manor together and spent happy times. They had conflicts and faced adversity together. , Unfortunately, I never had the courage to open up and bring the relationship between the two to a higher level.

The images in his mind flooded more and more, making Yunli a little delirious. He opened his eyes with difficulty, trying to wake up, but what caught his eyes was a real lion, standing proudly. Roaring, the Buddha in his ears also heard its unwilling roaring. He is also a fallen person in the world. He shared with Wang Chengyuan:

"Uncle Yuan, I heard the roar of these frozen lions. They may not be dead yet, and they will come back to life after they are unsealed. Why don't we stick ice cubes and let them freeze us up, maybe thousands of years Then you can come back to life.”

Wang Chengyuan came back to his senses, seeing that Yunli was a little out of his mind, but there was nothing he could do to help him, so he had to say with a wry smile: "Good suggestion, but if we do this, we will become guards for the owner of the tomb. Don't make a pose or something?"

"Of course, at least you can't lose to this pair of male and female lions. Fortunately, the door god doesn't pay attention to the harmony of yin and yang, one female and one male, and so on. I will put on a posture of Zhang Fei holding a spear later, and Guan Yu will leave it to you. As for the dumb, I don't know if he is interested in becoming Liu Bei." Yun Li thought Wang Chengyuan's proposal was quite good, so he planned with a smile.

"Haha. Hey, why do I seem to hear the roar of a lion? Could it be that these two lions are really going to come back to life!" Wang Chengyuan also heard the roar of the lion that Yun Li said, and immediately came over to look at the pair of frozen lions in front of him. , They all opened their lion mouths, but they were motionless, and it was impossible to make a sound.

After the two calmed down, they found that the roar of the lion became clearer and clearer. The sound did not come from the frozen lion, but from the side of the stone gate!After the two figured out the situation, they immediately jumped up and rushed towards the mute. Wang Chengyuan hugged the mute tightly to restrain his crazy behavior. After the silence, the roar of the lion behind the stone gate became more and more audible.
